Gastonia, North Carolina's EvilLeaf is a stoner/doom metal outfit that formed in 2023, adding their fuzz-laden low end to the Carolinas' growing heavy underground.

The band released Vol I in 2020, recorded at Santuario Studio with guitars and bass tracked as early as 2014, and followed it with Vol II in April 2022, both albums built around lengthy, hypnotic compositions that move between drone, heavy stoner riffing, and ambient passages. A live recording, Aldea Sesión, was captured in Banfield in August 2022 and released the same year.
